DIRECTOR'S NOTES
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
--Albert Einstein
When a playwright decides to use Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as the main characters in a, play, he is dealing with heavyweights in the history of art and physics. It is easy to get distracted by the genius of these two human icons of the 20th century. They both began to look at the use of time and space in new ways--thus to look at the world around them from new perspectives. Picasso was open to the new, untried, and unthinkable. He constantly undertook great risks in his artwork. Einstein was brilliant in the field of physics because he was open to new possibilities in viewing the universe. He constantly asked questions about how we perceive time, space, and energy. In Picasso's blue period, he experimented with using blue as the predominant color in his paintings as well as starting to play with the idea of nondescript time and place. Once he was out of that period and moving towards Cubism, he really pulled apart the way he looked at the world on a canvas. In Cubism, Picasso and other painters of the modern period defied the laws of our physical experience and explored what is contrary to the logic of our everyday world. As Picasso said, "Nature and art ...cannot be the same thing. Through art we express our conception of what nature is not." Picasso's painting "Les Demoiselles D'Avignon," which you will see in tonight's performance, was considered to be the work that took the modern art world into the 20th century in the form of Cubism. He took ideas from African and Negro sculpture and approached common-day figures and themes in juxtaposed ways using time and space uniquely. Einstein's work is the basis for one of the biggest revelations of the 20th century, which is that we live in a universe built out of tiny, discreet chunks of energy and matter--particles if you will. Ultimately, this was part of what developed into his theory of relativity. What is the theory of relativity? Simply, it is this: Measurements of time and distance vary systematically as anything moves relative to anything else. This means that space and time are not absolute. These two men changed the world's perspective in such a way that they changed the century. They opened up our eyes and imagination to new possibilities and changed the world's perceptions of time, space, and reality. Our playwright has had a field day in also playing around with our perception of time, space, and reality in the midst of the play. He cleverly weaves elements of both Einstein and Picasso's work into the plot without going over the heads of his audience. The "characters" of Einstein and Picasso become loveable dreamers to the viewer. This play isn't really about the genius of Picasso and Einstein but rather about the beauty of being open to a new thought, perspective, or experience and accepting that anything is possible. As Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Jane Purse-Wiedenhoeft

FEATURING THE ARTIST
As long as I remember I've wanted to be a painter, and after being taught at Franklin College by Italian Artist Luigi Crispino, I knew I would be painting the rest of my life. After college I got a job at a framing shop and started showing art in restaurants around town. Sales picked up. Casa restaurants commissioned murals and I've been busy ever since. The theatre bug bit about six years ago, and after being in four shows and designing the sets, I was hooked. I was amazed that doing a set was like ,doing a large painting and the energy of the actors made the painting come alive. I've won four best set awards at Arena Dinner Theatre and continue to do sets around the Fort, and paint every day. It's a great life. .Grand Champions of the Arts We would like to thank our season sponsors for their support: Holiday Inn Northwest The Keyboard Center Picasso's Sweetwater Sound WBNI 89.1 FM

The Department of Theatre seeks your assistance in the School of Visual and Performing Arts Campaign for the Arts. Our mission is four-fold: to offer the academic degree programs most in demand . by area citizens; to provide the northeastern Indiana region with exceptionally high-quality theatrical performances by students, faculty, and community members; to offer to the community various theatrical services, such as student matinees and theatre training through the Community Arts Academy; to provide a continuum of outreach activities to the greater northeastern Indiana community.
Our vision is to be widely recognized as the major theatre resource
center for the Greater Fort Wayne and northeastern Indiana
communities. To meet this challenge, we need your help!
IPFW is a state-assisted-not state-supported-university. Furthermore, we are allocated only about one-half of the state dollars that the main campuses receive per student. This in turn directly impacts the theatre department with severe budgetary constraints. Your dollars are essential to help us move forward with our commitments to northeastern Indiana.
Should you be interested in helping to financially support us in our mission, please contact Larry L. Life, chair and artistic director of the Department of Theatre, at 260-481-6551. Your contribution will enable us in our mission to keep our academic programs current, continue diversity in theatre programming, and maintain our commitment to northeastern Indiana through our service and outreach activities.

By Paloma Pedrero
Translated by Phyllis Zatlin
Directed by Betsy Breitenbach
The Color of August is a moving and heartfelt exploration of two women's relationship, artwork, and their relationship with the art. Tackling questions of inspiration, love, hate, and jealousy, Paloma Pedrero's modern Spanish masterpiece uses poetic imagery to tell the story of where these two women have been and where their love-hate relationship is heading.

If there's one thing we can't resist, it's a classy broad. Re-introducing Paula's, now a Club Soda restaurant. We were doing just fine with our mouth-watering steaks, our mind-blowing martinis and our swingin' downtown atmosphere. Then she walked in. With her delectable seafood and her eclectic I'm-so-cool-I-don't-even-have-to-try aura . Right then we knew we had to have her. So now, whether it's steaks downtown or seafood on the West side, we've got you covered. Paulo's Seafood and Club Soda, together at last. Walleye to walleye fun. 422.4322 Steaks. Cocktails.
